Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

15.0 g (1.0 equiv). N-(2-Bromo-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-acetamide was added in four portions to 18.7 mL (5 mol equiv.) chlorosulfonic acid under cooling in an ice-bath. The ice-bath was removed, the mixture was warmed to room temperature and subsequently to 80° C. After stirring for 1 hour the mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into ice. It was extracted with dichloromethane, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give 17.4 g (85%) 3-bromo-4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-acetylamino)-benzenesulfonyl chloride. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.09 (dd, J=9.0, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.30 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.69 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 8.71 (br.s., 1H).
